Fun puzzle tour especially with older children

It was a fun puzzle tour. However, sometimes unclear questions eg ships turned out to be cranes. You see Rotterdam in a different way, fun to do with teenagers

Operator response

Dank voor jullie review en feedback. We zullen de vragen nog eens kritisch doorlezen en indien nodig aanpassen. We hopen jullie nog eens terug te zien in een andere stad.

Really fun way to explore...

Really fun way to explore Rotterdam that sees all the main sights and goes slightly off the beaten track so find some cool clues and little treasures! Food market was a highlight and must visit!

Nice walk with surprising details.

It was a lot of fun to do. An interactive walk through the city. Nice story and surprising details. Been to places in Rotterdam that I didn't know yet. But call a spade a spade. It's a treasure hunt!

Operator response

Dankjewel voor jullie mooie review! Fijn dat jullie ervan genoten hebben! Ja, met de naam lopen we wel eens te stoeien... We proberen aan te sluiten bij de verwachting en zoekwoorden die mensen gebruiken. Maar zeker goed dat mensen het hier ook lezen!

Super fun puzzle walk!

A lot of fun activities! Challenging puzzles and you get to new, unknown places. And plenty of opportunity to grab a terrace along the route.

Very nice eacape tour! Rotterdam is a nice city for this.

A very fun escape tour! Some assignments were quite tough, but we had taken the most difficult ones. Rotterdam is a nice city, this way you also get to places where you would normally not go.

Operator response

Er zijn inderdaad 2 varianten van deze route (basis en uitdagend). Uitdagend is best pittig ja! Meer voor mensen met wat escaperoom/route ervaring. Leuk te horen dat jullie nieuwe plekken gekomen zijn! Dankjewel voor de review!!

The starting point was close to our hotel, which was nice. Then had a nice walk through Rotterdam with fun riddles/puzzles to solve. We chose the easier version. It was just right for us

Highly recommended!

Given for her birthday to rediscover her favorite city from a different perspective! And that was more than successful! Spots/items seen that had never even stood out before! Nice puzzles, nice trip; In short, it was really well put together. And the end point provided a very nice place for our final drinks. Delicious!
